Manicures!

This past summer, the girls were challenged to stop biting their nails.  Eliana has had this habit for about a year, and it was getting out of control.  Karina, in true little sister fashion, had decided to start biting her nails too, just because it seemed like a popular activity.  We had tried different things to get them to stop, but had no luck with Eliana.  They have been asking for a long time to get their nails painted, so we said if their fingernails could grow out, they could get them painted.  This was no problem for Karina, as she was just biting them out of copycatness.  Eliana, on the other hand, took a long time to break herself of the habit....but, she did!   It took some convincing, but Daddy finally relented and so the girls were off to get their nails painted!

They got their nails trimmed, and then the edges were sanded...

They each got to pick the colors they wanted...

Eliana opted for the multi-colored sparkles.

Karina also got the special treatment...

And opted for pink fingernail polish, which is of no surprise as that is currently her favorite color.
